Currently, last stage boot loaders such as U-Boot can accept only uImage which is an unnecessary additional step in automating boot flows.
Add a simple image header that boot loaders can parse and directly load kernel flat Image. The existing booting methods will continue to work as it is.
Tested on both QEMU and HiFive Unleashed using OpenSBI + U-Boot + Linux.
